dotfiles

Hello fellow dotfiler, here you can find configuration for git, neovim, tmux, zsh, and many more other programs.

I have been gathering, updating, carefully nitpicking my dotfiles for nearly 10 years. Not that long compared to more experienced people, but that's a start.

Feel free to copy, fork, PR, improve, suggest. I am always looking to make this work evolve toward a more convenient workflow.

Install

read-only (https)

git clone --recursive https://github.com/aymericbeaumet/dotfiles.git "$HOME/.config/dotfiles"
"$HOME/.config/dotfiles/make" bootstrap symlink

read-write (git+ssh)

git clone --recursive git@github.com:aymericbeaumet/dotfiles.git "$HOME/.config/dotfiles"
"$HOME/.config/dotfiles/make" bootstrap symlink

Usage

./make bootstrap

Update the submodules, install all the dependencies, prune the unneeded dependencies.

It also takes care to install the latest Node.js and Yarn versions.

./make symlink

Symlink all the configuration files from the ./src directory to $HOME.

FAQ

Why do you need both src and shallow directories?

The way it works, ./make symlink will recursively create symlinks for all the files in src folder, individually. Some directories need to be symlinked as a whole (e.g., ~/.config/karabiner). The trick is then to leverage a separate directory (shallow) and to create a link pointing from src to shallow. That way when ./make symlink browses through the files in src, it only creates the symlink $HOME/.config/karabiner, pointing to dotfiles/src/.config/karabiner.
